Trump whining because his shitty half-assed truce didn't hold is all about his pride. He doesn't care about lives or soveriegnty.

lmao y'all what the fuck are white men dying to say at work?

i almost can’t read this it makes me so angry. delusional grifters with purity fetishes and eugenic worldviews have brought pain, suffering and death to children www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

Waiting for Pete Hegseth to appear, knowing full well he will fall flat on his face despite the military victory.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

ICE is a threat to democracy.

HEH.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

And hes been disrespectful to Soldiers and Veterans every since........🤔

Such buffoonery would be wirthy of mockery if it wasn't an all-out assault on democracy.

He didn’t like the answers it was giving, so he’s starting over.

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

Whether it's Joe Biden's son's business partner writing "the big guy" in an email when Biden was ex-vice president or Donald Trump selling crypto, NFTs, bibles, gold sneakers, watches, and cell phone plans while he is the current president, both sides have monetized executive branch positions.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

We still have standards worth upholding and values worth standing up for.

I can't believe Sununu is on CNN talking about the "delicate balance" of Trump's Middle East policy.

AOC burns the unctuous, corpulent, hypocrite Ted Cruz

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 150 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and other convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Dear Squeaky Tank, Thank you for your service. 🫡

Trump leaving the G7 is better for all involved, he can go cosplay as a war-time leader and the adults can discuss how enlightened nations can make international efforts to address global issues.

Leaders know now that these trade agmts are a snap, TACO will sign anything so he can bray about a "deal". Of course the downside is he negotiates in brazen bad faith, and his addled brain might switch back to tariffs overnight.

NEW: MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell found liable for defamation for his statements about Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer. Federal jury orders Lindell to pay $2.3M, far less than the $62.7M requested by Coomer’s attorneys.

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

This is very well said. “Bubble” and “echo chamber” is just a pejorative way to say “community.”

ICE can’t hit its 3,000-a-day deportation quota—because there aren’t enough so-called “criminal migrants.” So now? They’re snatching up long-time residents, tax-payers, parents, neighbors. Not criminals—just convenient targets. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s a mass purge. And it’s sick.

Watching CBS Morning's report on the Padilla incident, with its utterly ridiculous description of Padilla as being "dressed in casual clothes" and moments later, no such descriptor while referring to Noem, who is at the podium in a baseball cap and polo-style shirt. #dobetter

This is the language of Afghanistan, of Iraq, of a thousand night raids and drone strikes and clearing operations brought inevitably, finally, back home to American soil

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.
